We all know that life seems to be serious sh* ... uhm.. that life is HEAVY sometimes..

It’s not that easy to take it easy.

But maybe it helps now and then to think of the wise words of this guy.

A French author, by the way. 1657 - 1757. Note his longevity! (Gives him some credibility, somehow.)

In his nineties, he reportedly met a beautiful woman to whom he said:

“Ah Madame, if I were only eighty again!”... 🙂

(see: Wright, Esmond. 1986. Franklin of Philadelphia. Cambridge and London: Harvard University Press, p. 327.)
